Check what C. Rangel did.

H. R. 1036 This Act may be cited as the `Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act'.

(2) To preserve a citizen's access to a supply of firearms and ammunition for all lawful purposes, including hunting, self-defense, collecting, and competitive or recreational shooting.

I suggest loading military ammo with Twinkies ... sugar them to death .....

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Recycle spent nuclear fuel rods into bullets

[csmusaret]

Frangibile ammunition was green 40 years ago.

Hardened Chinese Cat Food would work as well and is cheaper. :))

There are worse predicaments than having to rid yourself of hundreds of rounds of shot gun shells . That is how I was introduced to skeet . They are not much for eating but the you are sure to get some shooting .

[P8riot]

Good thing I’ve got over a ton of wheel weights, and other lead items for the time when I won’t be able to buy it anymore.

[mountainlion]

Yea, lighter non deforming shot caused more injuries and more game got away injured causing lingering death from ineffective shot.

Steel shot has to be moving faster than lead to achieve the same momentum and you need more weight to get the same pellet count; particularly if you try to achieve that by using 3.5” shells moving at 1450 - 1550 fps, the recoil can be severe. Anybody who’d try to shoot that in a solid lockup gun is a masochist; you want every edge you can get, a semiauto gun and I’d also recommend one of those Pattern Master chokes which is both ported and non-constrictive. The gun I’d recommend would be that Beretta Xtrema, but there are others which would work.

[stefanbatory]

of course those would only work on the battlefield...and against a specific enemy...

Even when there appears to be a reason behind these new regulations, they are still written by people who want to criminalize behavior. It all about people control.

[ApplegateRanch]

It is amazing what damage a pair of ordinary glass marbles fired from each barrel of a 10 gage muzzle loading shotgun can do...at least to a block of 6X6 hard fir at 50 yards.

And the marbles weren’t broken when we split them out of the wood, either.

OTOH, I’ll keep my 150 gr .30 Spitzers for deer.

This is just a backdoor way to get rid of guns. Lead oxides and become inert, so the idea that it is posing animals is a lie.

[dr huer]

How about depleted uranium? Density 20 vs lead 15 grams/cc.

[Hugin]

BARNES. Unleaded. Unfailing. Unbeatable.

Hardened Chinese Cat Food would work as well and is cheaper.

But it is more toxic than lead shot.

[TC Rider]

It's not uncommon for reloaders who make their own cartridges to have hundreds of bullets bought in bulk lying around for future loading.

Hundreds? Yeah right. Stop it. You're killing me.

I've got around 5,000 .45 bullets, lead, moly and FMJ right now and I'm feeling somewhat understocked.

It is a sort of, Depleted Uranium is used in anti-armor it is more dense then what it is going to hit. The A-10 Warthog, the Apache Heli, the cannons are Depleted Uranium rounds.

Goto Metal Storm . com (hehe) and take a look at no powder weapons.
